Cue the complaining! Chris Brown is complaining to friends that he should be allowed to take medical marijuana for his anger management issues because it’s legal in California. Chris Brown was ordered to spend three months in rehab after throwing a rock through his mother’s car window. He doesn’t want to continue to use anti-depressant drugs which have been prescribed to him. They make Chris Brown feel very numb and make everything around him seem fuzzy. Chris Brown also suffers from ADD and had been depressed in recent weeks. He is really trying to move forward from the incident with Rihanna, but feels it’s just going to haunt him for the rest of his life. Chris Brown believes that if he was allowed to take the marijuana things would dramatically improve in his life.

Hugh Jackman posted a picture of himself wearing a bandage on his face. Why? He explained to fans that he recently had skin cancer removed from his nose. Hugh Jackman revealed that it was his wife Deborra-Lee Furness who encouraged him to get the "mark" checked… And Hugh Jackman said, "Boy, was she right! I had [basal] cell carcinoma. Please don't be foolish like me. Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!!" According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, an estimated 2.8 million cases of basal cell carcinoma are diagnosed in the United States each year, and it is the most frequently occurring form of all cancers. For treatment options, you can remove the tumor, radiation and topical medicine. Lesson learned, when it doubt, always get it checked out!

Jennifer Lawrence continues to make headlines. But, does she actually read them? The answer is a big fat NO! Jennifer Lawrence said, ”I would never do something like that.” Jennifer Lawrence admits that it can be tough to steer clear of the tabloids, but it's necessary in order to maintain her sanity. Jennifer Lawrence has slipped up and Googled herself in the past, a mistake she never intends to make again. She said, "I stopped doing it when one of my friends was upset about pictures that came up.” Something tells me that she never has to worry about what people say about her!

NBC is giving us the best holiday gift ever! There has been hilarious Saturday Night Live hosts so far, and now fans can get excited for three more sensational celebrities who will be hosting and/or performing during SNL's December shows. Kicking it off on Dec. 7th, SNL will welcome back actor Paul Rudd for his third hosting stint. He will be joined by One Direction. Then on December 14th, comedy legend John Goodman will make his 13th hosting appearance. He’ll be joined by the Grammy Award-winning musical guest Kings Of Leon. Lastly, SNL alum and former Weekend Update host Jimmy Fallon will return on December 21st for his second time hosting since leaving the series in 2004. He’ll be joined by his best friend and fan-favorite host Justin Timberlake! He’s scheduled to be the night's musical act, but I bet that Justin Timberlake is going to make it into a lot of the skits! How excited are you for THAT lineup?

The more I hear about this case, the more sad and complicated it seems to get. Brittany Murphy tragically passed away in 2009, and even though it was ruled to have been caused by anemia and pneumonia, her father, Angelo Bertolotti, recently opened up about the possible REAL reason she and her husband, Simon Monjack, died. Her father is now claiming that they were poisoned and murdered. But now I’m hearing that there may not be a sure sign of poison. New reports suggest that if traces of heavy metal were found, it could have been the result of heroin use. Heroin addicts often have higher blood levels of almost all heavy metals tested. But Brittany Murphy wasn't found to have heroin in her system at the time of her death! Well, heroin breaks down in the body within a few hours. As well as that, only very small amounts remain in the blood after five days and hair after 90 days. Even worse, heroin isn't the only drug that contains these levels of metals. Oxycontin and oxycodone and diet pulls are also similar. This makes Brittany Murphy’s passing only MORE confusing, but hopefully her family and friends can find some peace with her death soon.

If you had to guess who the biggest pop star on the radio this year was, who do you think it would be? I mean, there’s a lot of big divas to chose from like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Miley Cyrus… and even though Katy Perry appears to have won the sales battle with Prism, she wasn't the biggest pop star on radio this year! That honor goes to… Bruno Mars. Bruno Mars is the most played artist of 2013, with his hit "Locked Out of Heaven" listed as the top pop airplay song of the year! Congratulations Bruno Mars!

It’s not a secret that Kelly Clarkson’s weight has been scrutinized for years. Now that she's pregnant though, she's looking forward to finally catching a break from the criticism when it comes to her body. Kelly Clarkson said she was excited to embrace her pregnancy curves, saying, "Everybody calls me fat all the time, so I can't wait to have a reason, instead of everybody just being a jerk!" After she gives birth, she also said to not expect her to slim down in record time like other celebrities often do. She said, “I like to set a low standard so people don't expect a lot." LOVE IT!
